Title: An apparatus and method for controlling the consistency and quality of a frozen carbonated beverage product
Inventor: FRANK JIMMY I
IPC: G01L7/00
Filed: 1996-09-20
Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for controlling the consistency and quality of a frozen carbonated beverage product made by mixing several ingredients including syrup, water and carbon dioxide in a mixing chamber of a frozen carbonated beverage machine. The apparatus includes a process flow block that controls the flow of the ingredients from ingredient supply sources to the mixing chamber. A pair of transducers are also provided for measuring the pressure of carbon dioxide being injected into the mixing chamber and the pressure of the product in the mixing chamber.

A pair of solenoids are also provided which control the supply of the ingredients into the mixing chamber in response to command signals from the central processing unit. The central processing unit instructs one or both of the solenoids to open so as to supply the mixing chamber with one or more of the ingredients when the pressure in the mixing chamber is below the low set point pressure value and to close so as to cut off the supply of one or more of the ingredients to the mixing chamber when the pressure in the mixing chamber is above the high set point pressure value.
